is adapted to be employed in the transferring ill of designs or the like without the use of special patterns, hot irons or inks.

Another object of the invention is to provide a composition of this kind which is not indelible. and can be easily removed which is of especial advantage when used for fancy work.

The invention also has for an object to provide a composition of this kind which will have requisite adhesion to any surface and which possesses sufficient inherent elasticity to render the same substantially selfrenewing. 1

Our improved composition in its preferred embodiment comprises In mixing our improved composition, the tallow is melted and stirred with the dry paint, the wax and paraffine are separately melted and added in the order given, after which the benzine or other dryer is added. These ingredients are then stirred until smooth and placed in a vessel over hot water.

The tallow serves as a dissolvent and while preferably used it has been found in practice that it is possible to employ as a substitute therefor linseed oil, olive oil, or glycerine.

The wax may be either vegetable or mineral and instead of benzine any suitable dryer may be employed such as gasoline, ether and the like.

V1 hen an oil is substituted for the tallow a slightly greater amount of war: should be added and if oil paint is used the tallow may be omitted as the oil in the paint will serve as the requisite dissolvent.

The paint serves to give the requisite color for transferring an impression onto any material but orange mineral is preferred as it is not indelible. The tallow serves as a dissolvent and renders the paint durable and elastic and materially increases its property of adhesion which is of particular im- Application filed May 26, 1925.

port when transferring onto glass'or other hard and glazed surface as Well as clinging to the fibre of plush and velvet.

The wax serves to solidify the composition and gives the mixture the proper hardness and prevents the composition from rubor treated with our improved composition,

the application of the composition being preferably made while the composition is hot to allow it to saturate the material and thus assure greater durability and elasticity.

In practice, any size design or picture is pinned or clamped to a suitable sheet treated with our improved composition with the side to be transferred on the inside of the sheet. The pattern is traced with any pointed instrument and after making a few strokes it is desirable to lift the sheet to ascertain whether the requisite design marking is too hard or the reverse. On heavy material such as velvet or leather, the tracing is preferably done with a blunt instrument, such as a button hook. For wood, metal or china, the pattern is attached to the outside of the sheet treated with our composition and then traced. If it is necessary to remove any of the transferred marks the same can be readily done by the use of gasoline, water or with an eraser according to the material.

Our improved composition will not blur or smear, nor soil the hands or material, and if used properly and kept from heat will give good service for a protracted period of time.

Our improved composition only efiects a transfer by direct impression and is selfrenewingdue to its elasticity. When a sheet treated or coated with our improved composition is left in a moderately warm room, the composition will spread and fill in any worn spots. The hardness obtained in the composition allows only a small amount of color to be removed by the inipression.
